great for keeping organised and allowing me to note the books I have read. Unlike a paper version, this allows you to take it with you

Thank you so much for this reading journal! I love having somewhere digital and physical to be able to track and remember all my reads, great or not.

Great resource! Will be useful going forward, thank you wearebookish! This will help make my reviews even better

Wow this is so helpful and so well designed! I love the yearly goals page and that there are even more detailed pages for every month. Thank you, team!

I liked how this reading journal is layed out! It was super easy to use and I look forward to using it more in the future as well.

The journal works well and has several interesting ideas. Some parts aren’t necessary for me, for example the description of myself - as it is my journal and no one will see this. I prefer the last colour palette.

I prefer last years color pallet. But as always this is great and works really well in Goodreads. Would recomend if you like digital planners.

A total gem for book lovers who enjoy tracking their reading life with a personal touch! The NetGalley Reading Journal is a beautifully designed and easy-to-use PDF that goes way beyond the standard review page. With space to reflect on each book, set goals, check in monthly, and even build better reading habits, it feels like a little companion for the year. I especially loved the creative prompts and challenges—it adds an element of fun that makes keeping a reading journal feel less like a task and more like a treat. Whether you’re a mood reader, a planner, or just someone looking to be more intentional with your TBR, this is a great (and free!) tool to keep your reading journey both organised and joyful. I had downloaded another of their reading journals but then saw that it was available in this gorgeous palette. I love it!

This is a great reading journal for beginners! It’s simple to use, well-organized, and makes it easy to track books, thoughts, and reading progress. Perfect for anyone just starting their reading journey or looking for a low-pressure way to stay consistent.

Aaaah I love this colour scheme! This is really nicely designed and surprisingly functional. As in, there’s a lot more things that it can do and that work (technology wise) than I‘d expected.

I've been using this reading journal since 2024 and I LOVE it! It's such a useful tool to track my reading and keep my thoughts and reviews in one place.

Super cute reading journal! Everything is super easy to navigate and love taking notes for my current reads.

This is such a fun journal! I wanted something specifically for Netgalley ARCs so I’m better organized and this was perfect! 10/10 recommend! You even get two colors to choose from which is nice. I prefer the neutral tones compared to this one but both are still fantastic!

As an older person I struggled to figure out how to really use this pdf. I'm interested in learning what stickers are, how and where to find them, and how to use them correctly it seems like a really cool feature, but there aren't any instructions for this. This makes me feel a little stupid because you should be able to copy and paste the image of a cover onto the page, but this doesn't work either. I really like the layout and printed all the activities pages which are a highlight of this journal.

This is a great tool for readers who like to stay organized and reflect on their reading habits. I especially liked the monthly check-ins and customizable review pages. They’re well-designed and user-friendly. That said, I haven’t used it much this year, mostly because it feels best suited for tablets, which I don’t use as often anymore. If you’re a digital journaler or frequent e-reader, this would be a great addition to your reading routine.

This journal has really helped me organize and keep track of my thoughts while reading NetGalley DRCs - I am new to the platform, and the NetGalley Reading Journal was easy to dive into for a new user. I would recommend to any other NetGalley newbies for getting started with reviews!

A very nice journal that helps you track everything you have read in the platform and outside of it. The colors are very nice and it’s divided in such a way that it makes it easier to understand

This is SO cute! I wish I were Type A enough to utilize it...but I'll print out and bind it just in case I get the urge to be organized 😁

This is great! I prefer this Reading Journal over the last edition. Definitely think there could be a calendar aspect and perhaps stickers or checkboxes for library, audible, NetGalley, etc and some that are for shared on NetGalley, IG, FB, Blog, YouTube, Litsy, Storygraph, Goodreads etc.

Very cool concept. I feel like this was made by actual readers. The e version is handy in that you can click the tabs to jump to different portions of the journal. Ultimately, I printed it and bound it and it works great for me that way. Definitely making it simpler to track my books/reviews.
